It has over 700 recipes and practical advice. I am very excited to work my way through it. This also feels like a great gift to give someone. Darina Allen is a wonderful cook and homesteader so there's a wealth of knowledge in here. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Cook Book Ever *by F***A on December 13, 2011* I grew up in Ireland during WW II on my grandad's farm in the West of Ireland.I bought Skills of Cooking by Darina Allen on Amazon .com from Amazon.I was 3 years old when mom took me to visit her parents. We were Irish American Citizens.World War II started in the late spring of 1939. the U>S> citizens were not allowed to sail until 1946. WW II ended in 1844 thanks to TheScreaming Eagles Paratroopers of The US. Military who blocked The Nazis on Normandy Beach.The Band of Brothers another group of U.S. forces parachuted further.England did not help. A hundred scared little Irish American kids and their moms were stranded in Ireland. Nazi planes flew over our farms daily with that terrible swastickapainted on the planes. We were little kids catching the chickens and ducks for our families.We had no protection. President DaValera-an Irish American became President of Ireland. Heinvited the Gestapo to open a headquarters there. Only The North of Ireland had British Troops to protect it.The u.s. Embassy was in Dublin-a few doors from Davalera's office and The Gestapo headquarters.I plucked the feathers out of chickens and ducks, washed them and sometimes cleaned them.Darina Allen reminded me of the wholesome cooking The Irish Farm families did. Our families in the village never used genetically modified feed or seed or food. No farm in the village had electrical appliocances. Our families used black cast iron kettles to boil the meat and poultry. Dorina Allen has brought back real organic cooking and preparing of food. My mom cooked and prepared food the Irish organic way until she died.You'll find information and receipes and organically grown veggies and other produce instructions to make you feel better every day.Its a great book for beginners and seasoned cooks. Anyone can understand it.I ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Book Marred By Lousy Table of Contents *by M***Y on March 4, 2025* This book has many great recipes, both classic, especially classic Irish and other European, and innovative, like edible flowers frozen in ice cubes for summer drinks. Ver nicely embodies a nose to tail ethic with reminders of composting, preserving, and leftovers.I marked the Kindle edition down. Although the book clearly states that each chapter heading is followed by a list of the chapter's recipes, no such list exists. As partial compensation, the index uses searchable recipe names, but they are not grouped by the same chapter headings. Disappointing... for what otherwise would rise much closer to the top of my (large) cookbook collection. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8139272-forgotten-skills-of-cooking-the-time-honored-ways-are-best](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8139272-forgotten-skills-of-cooking-the-time-honored-ways-are-best) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
